how about any coverage for poor Americans in southern states?
There's a lot of federal money for Medicare expansion that Red states don't take as part of a dumb anti-Obamacare protest.
Their voters don't seem to care, and the federal government can't force state governments to do anything, so ¯\(ツ)/¯
Yes because it's just the south that has poor people....
No, it's a specific thing predominantly in southern states, where if you dont make a certain amount of money, you get absolutely no help in affording health insurance. It's caused by the states themselves being shitty with a shortcoming of the affordable care act, and closing that shortcoming was one of Biden's promises. And it's been entirely abandoned, so forget mental health coverage, I cant get any healthcare.
Good move by Biden.
I wish I had faith in our mental health. I feel like Lot of it is nonsense, kinda like a jobs HR department. As if they're trying to keep you on track with what they need vs what you really need.
I hope there's good honest mental health workers out there with wisdom and not just text book "oh your definitely x" after talking twice.
Meh, sorry just ranting.
Everyday my connection to the middle class and up gets further away. It's like I'm getting closer to survival mode. The situations and public social issues just dont hold weight to me anymore... Like it's only somethibg that more wealthy people care about. Others with less have already learned to cope and live without. The positive changes probably won't effect us anyway... Because the world's built on the honest and hard working. I don't want drugs to numb me enough for them to force a faulty system of community survival down my throat.
That being said I've been on depression medication and anxiety medication and it helps.
So...Existentially I don't know what's right.
People being able to get help without going into debt is what's right. The particulars we (or the politicians really) can debate about and find solutions.
More severe problems also don’t get addressed properly, psychotic symptoms that don’t affect conversation ability are essentially untreatable because you can’t involuntarily commit someone until they can’t take care of themselves, so you just end up with someone who has had their sense of self and reality twisted into knots, and nothing can be done.
